Hello, I am trying to play Dark and Darker and whenever I launch it, my game is crashing on startup. I know that this isn’t exactly the best place to ask for help, but their technical support is ignoring my tickets and I feel like the issue could be related to UE engine itself, so I am asking for help here:
This error message suggests that there is a problem with the GPU drivers or the GPU itself. The “EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION” error usually indicates that Unreal Engine is trying to access memory to which it does not have permission. It could be due to a problem with the graphics card drivers or the graphics card itself.
First of all, if the game’s cracked, don’t try to make it work, it won’t.
If you’ve buyed it you could try a few things.
Make sure you have the latest GPU drivers installed for your graphics card. You can download the latest drivers from the GPU manufacturer’s website (NVIDIA, AMD, etc.).
Try disabling any third-party software that may be interfering with the GPU, such as overclocking software or other system monitoring tools.
Check for any other software that may conflict with Unreal Engine, such as other game or graphics-intensive software.
Try running the game on a different machine to see if the issue is specific to your current setup.
It’s also worth noting that this error could be caused by a hardware issue with the GPU, such as overheating or a component not working properly. In this case, the GPU may need to be replaced. Although the probabilities are minimal.
